How to wear skirts and dresses in winter

There’s no risk of frostbite—with some cold-weather adjustments to your outfit, you can look hot while out in the cold.

Cover your tush

Long trenches and peacoats are great for the winter. Go for jackets that extend to mid-thigh or even to the knee. This will add an extra layer of warmth to exposed legs and keep your lower body protected from the wind. Snood,$20, canada.roots.com. Coat, $129, zara.com. Dress, $50, hm.com. Bag, $30, hm.com.

Put on tall boots

Knee-high or even thigh-high boots are a great way to winterize your dress or skirt. By covering the gap between the bottom of your skirt and your feet, minimal skin is exposed to the cold.
